Installation
====

Dependency Installation
----

Install [librdkafka](https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka)

    git clone https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka
    cd librdkafka
    ./configure
    make
    sudo make install

Compilation
----

Compile this module into nginx

    git clone https://github.com/brg-liuwei/ngx_kafka_module

    # cd /path/to/nginx
    ./configure --add-module=/path/to/ngx_kafka_module

    make

    sudo make install
    # or, use `sudo make upgrade` instead of `sudo make install`

In newer version of nginx(>=1.9.11), you can make this module as an dynamic module.

    git clone https://github.com/brg-liuwei/ngx_kafka_module

    # cd /path/to/nginx
    ./configure --add-dynamic-module=/path/to/ngx_kafka_module

    make modules
    # This will generate a objs/ngx_http_kafka_module.so in your /path/to/ngx_kafka_module and you can copy the so file to a proper location.

Nginx Configuration
====

Add the code to nginx conf file as follows

    http {

        # some other configs

        kafka;

        kafka_broker_list 127.0.0.1:9092 127.0.0.1:9093; # host:port ...

        server {

            # some other configs

            location = /your/path/topic {
                # optional directive: kafka_partition [<partition-num> | auto]
                #
                # kafka_partition auto; # default value
                # kafka_partition 0;
                # kafka_partition 1;

                kafka_topic your_topic;
            }
        }
    }

If you compile module as a dynamic module, you must add
    
    load_module /path/to/ngx_http_kafka_module.so;

at the beginning of the nginx config file besides adding the code. After that you can use the module by just executing `nginx -c /path/to/nginx.conf -s reload`.

Example of Usage
====

    curl localhost/your/path/topic -d "message send to kafka topic"

or you can use `-v` or `--verbose` to see http request and response for detail:

    curl localhost/your/path/topic -d "hello ngx_kafka_module" -v

If the message is successfully delivered, the http status code must be 204(NO CONTENT). If using `-v` or `--verbose` option of `curl`, the following line will be seen:

    < HTTP/1.1 204 No Content
